Title: Great coffee and reliable machine for 9 years!
Review: We aren’t full coffee snobs, but good coffee deserves a good coffee maker (and vice versa). Our OXO made a reliably great cup of coffee for nine years. She finally entered the eternal red blinking light stage, but seriously, that’s a good run.Pros:- it really makes a great cup of coffee. When I travel I do a basic drip or French press, and the OXO holds it’s own to any other method- nine years is a pretty good run with rarely a complaint- six minute run time for a 9 cup pot is fairly good- carafe keeps coffee hot and is well insulatedPours very cleanly, with no worry of drips- temperature is great, and was consistent to the end of life- easy to clean all the plastic parts- some people don’t like metal carafes because they can retain odors. I never found this to be an issue, despite typically only rinsing with hot water once a day. I would run it with a vinegar/water mix once a month or two (just a regular 9-cup, not a full descale).Cons:- the plastic water reservoir developed a ton of small “cracks” and haziness over time, possibly from stress? We just lived with it as it didn’t affect quality. However, our friends had the same issue and contacted OXO, who immediately sent a replacement.- the carafe becomes stained after a while, and no amount of cleaning can remove it.- the drip-stop didn’t always work perfectly, and would sometimes drip if I removed the carafe before brewing was complete.- if you use a reusable basket then it may let water around the outer edge if not tall enough- sometimes the descale process goes haywire and we would have to play to get the red light to disappear (turn off machine, close windows, light incense). It always resolved fairly quickly…until now. We ran through multiple descalings and all the troubleshooting tips, but now have to buy a new machine. I estimate we got 3,800 cups of coffee at 7 cents a cup. Not a bad deal.My final recommendation – definitely worth a buy.

Title: OXO vs Capresso vs Bonavita – 8 Reasons the OXO is Better
Review: I have owned two Capresso machines for a total of six years and I have owned two Bonavita machines for another six years. I find this machine to be better than either. At their best I would say that all three coffee makers are capable of making very good coffee, and I would be hard pressed to support the claim that the coffee made in this machine is consistently better than the best coffee from either of the previous brands. That said, it is very good. At Starbucks or at good restaurants I rarely find coffee that I enjoy so much. I don’t seek out coffee esoterica and I don’t consider myself a coffee snob; but I do buy good beans and I grind them for each use.If the coffee made in this machine is not measureably better, why would one spring for the extra money for the OXO machine instead of the Bonavita or the Capresso?Before we answer that question, we must explain why the thermal caraffe. The answer is that burners that keep uninsulated caraffes warm invariably burn coffee and they do not keep out air. The combination of oxygen and excess heat too quickly turn the tasty brew from beverage to burnt battery acid. Keep excess heat and air from fresh-brewed coffee and it can taste good for hours. Need it to be warmer? Pop your mug of coffee in the microwave for half a minute or so. A good thermal caraffe can keep coffee tasting fresh-brewed for four hours or more. And the caraffe on the OXO is that good.WHAT MAKES OXO BETTER? –1) The caraffe on this machine works better. It keeps coffee tasting fresh from the time it is made at 5:00 AM until lunchtime, around noon. None of the previous machines did this – although all were ten or fifty times better than open pots, there was always a bit of oxidation bitterness, even if the lid was kept on the thermal caraffe. A constant irritation with the Bonavita was that the pour spout was so poorly designed that (it seemed like) fully 10 percent of the coffee ran down the side of the caraffe onto the counter. Of course, pouring slowly could sometimes help a bit, but I never could do this. The people who will benefit most from this difference are absentminded guys whose wives hate cleaning up their reckless coffee spills. In such a case, this difference alone could help save a marriage.2) The OXO machine’s fit and finish are better. I cannot tell why, but this machine just looks better sitting on my black granite countertops. Perhaps it is the shiny black plastic. Or the sculptural curves. In any case, it has the presence of a work of art, FWIW. This machine is, however, taller by about two inches. It has a greater kitchen presence. This extra size may sometimes be a tiny drawback – especially in a tiny galley kitchen.3) The brew-stop feature really works. Remove the caraffe and two things happen: 1) a spring loaded plunger closes to stop coffee flow. 2) the machine senses the absence of the pot and pauses the brewing cycle. With the Bonavita, I always scalded my hand if I wanted coffee before the cycle finished; both features are missing from it.4) Number 4 coffee filters actually fit. With the Bonavita, one must fold the paper filters over at the bottom and side joints, then hope that sliding the pot into position does not nudge the top of the filter closed – the consequence of which is a plugged machine with scalding hot water and coffee grounds flowing across the kitchen counter and floor. This little accident has happened probably two dozen times in the six years I’ve operated Bonavita machines. Diligence and determination reduced the frequency of occurrance, but it was always a hazard. With the OXO, the bin that holds the filter is deep enough that this kind of problem is much less likely. No folding, no sliding, no scalding coffee floes.5) The clear water reservoir helps one see how far the brewing cycle has gotten. The Bonavita and the Capresso coffee makers had smoke tinted plastic reservoirs which allowed one to observe the water level from nearby; but not from acrosss the room. With the OXO I can observe the progress from across the kitchen.6) Of course, once the novelty of it wears off I’m sure that this won’t count for much, but I happen to think it’s mildly amusing watch the water bubble up through the central heating tube. So does my wife. Who buys a coffee maker as a source of entertainment? I admit it’s not much, but we take our amusement where we can find it.7) “The caraffe is not in place.” Fortunately, this coffee maker does not scold you for being neglectful as some cars did in the 1980’s with spoken phrases like “your door is a jar;” but it does turn on a red light when it senses that the pot is not in place. Absentminded people might find this of some help when they have started the machine by pushing the start button, but nothing has started happening … because the caraffe is in another room!8) The microprocessor counts how many times you have brewed coffee since descaling. When it gets to 90 it tells you to descale the machine. Since I have lost 4 machines to scale, I like the idea that this might extend the life of this machine to the point that it actually has a lower cost of ownership than my previous machines. I know that it is saving me on electricity already because in my old Bonavita it now takes two cups of water to make one cup of coffee — it’s evaporating half of the water. That’s very energy intensive. It did not do this when it was new. Sadly, my experience with Bonavita machines is that once I notice that they need descaling, it is too late. So a friendly reminder might help me extend the life of my machine and keep brewing costs down.My impression of OXO kitchen tools has always been that they are very carefully and thoughtfully designed. And that they are well executed. This coffee machine extends those brand values to coffee makers. At the point it completes the cycle, the coffee made by this machine is certainly as good as, if not perceptibly better than that of the Bonavita or Capresso; but the coffee keeps better in the caraffe, it pours into the cup better, and it is much less susceptible to filter handling errors that result in rivers of hot coffee running across the counters, down the cabinets, and onto the floor. It looks better, and I have reason to hope it will ultimately have a lower cost of ownership thanks to its descaling reminders. I’ve had it for a week and I am very pleased with it.

Title: Prospective buyers beware
Review: TL;DR version:Thoroughly disappointing. I wish I could return this.- – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -Longer version:I was in a time crunch and didn’t have much time to read reviews when I bought this. I picked it after seeing it on several big media sites’ recommendation pages, and I’ve come to regret not spending at least five minutes looking through the negative feedback here.Before I ran my first brew through this, I thoroughly washed all removable parts, ran four cycles of plain water through the machine, and then re-washed all removable parts. Despite that prep work, my first batch of coffee tasted like weak, watered-down java with heaps of rubber and melted plastic on the back end. Batches two and three were much the same. I was able to get rid of the rubbery, plastic-y taste by soaking all the removable parts in a 60/40 mix of vinegar and water for about 24 hours, but I’m left with no solution for how weak and underwhelming the coffee tastes. This machine is incapable of delivering the shot of wake-up juice I need in the morning.I would have returned this after the first brew, but I stupidly put the packaging out in the recycling almost immediately after I opened it, and the box was long gone before I discovered how disappointing the machine is. Hopefully getting burnt for $200 reminds me not to make this series of mistakes ever again, and hopefully this review saves someone else from suffering through the same feeling of failure I have right now.

Review: The coffee maker arrived as promised in two days in perfect condition. We have only had it for 2 days but have made 2 full batches of morning coffee and 2, 4 cup batches of evening decaf coffee and the coffee maker worked as described. It is very simple to set up and use. The coffee in each case was one we had been using for many months in our old coffee maker but the flavour was noticeably better using the Oxo coffee maker. The full batches stayed hot until gone but the smaller batches of decaf were not quite as hot but still excellent. Next time I will preheat the carafe for small batches. The other thing we noticed is that while the coffee maker was done pumping the water and starting tracking the time since the coffee was made, a large amount of water remained in the filter so we had to wait several more minutes before pouring the coffee. This was especially noticeable with the decaf coffee, but that is always the case with decaf.

Review: I am very impressed with this coffee maker!I am a very fussy coffee drinker. I searched for some time for a coffee maker that is easy to operate and makes a good cup of coffee. This coffee maker meets and exceeds my expectations on both counts. We have had it for a couple of months now and it still works great and continues to make great coffee! I highly recommend it!

Review: Purchased on sale for $200 (regular price at the time was $300). Yes, it makes good coffee at least in the beginning. But if you’re willing to spend around this price point have a look at some of the other brands out there.I’ve been scrupulous about constantly cleaning and descaling this unit since it arrived in October. There are a few things that have come up since I bought this that I wish I’d known about before investing this kind of money in a coffee maker.1-The brew temperature will slowly start to to go down. When first purchased the first cups right after brewing were scalding hot. Over a few months I’ve had pots that were only warm. It seems to vary now, I’ll get 3-4 days of hot, then out of nowhere a pot comes out warm. This alone makes it two stars at best. My old $35 drip machine never had this issue. Yes I do preheat the carafe every time.2-The pump grinds and shudders when I start the brew cycle, which I assume means parts are already starting to fail.3-The smell – silicone? – from the water container does not go away. Honestly, this smells like skunk, I kid you not. You can wash the bridge (I did) but it won’t help. And the shape and size of the container makes it impossible to properly wash and rinse. You can wipe it with a damp paper towel but nothing will kill that smell, which goes through the whole kitchen.4-Over time the filter basket has started to leak excessively from the bottom after removing the pot when the brewing is done. And when you lift the basket lid to take out the used filter, water goes pouring back into the water container.5-Washing the pot properly becomes a problem because after using dish soap and warm water on the lid, you have to rinse the entire thing for an insane amount of time or suds will be trapped inside it. Soapy coffee anyone?Follow-up: Three months after purchaseSo, with daily use (4 pots a day) this naturally needs more frequent cleaning and descaling. The lid is unfortunately a complete deal breaker. Because whether you use soapy water or a cleaning/descaling solution, some of it will always stay trapped inside, affecting the coffee taste for many pots afterward. And just rinsing with hot water will do nothing to clean out the grime inside. $200, 90 days, and now this is headed to the garbage dump. I’ve also noticed that some plastic parts (carafe rim and lid) will stain in spots that won’t clean up. If you can afford a coffee maker at this price range, do yourself a huge favor and buy something else. Downgrading to one star and learned my lesson – don’t get taken in by all the reviews from people who’ve owned this for all of two weeks. Piece of garbage.

Review: I don’t have many coffee makers to compare this to, but I love it. Looks nice on the kitchen counter, keeps coffee warm for a long time. It doesn’t have a heated plate, but the insulated carafe is pretty effective. Watching the water percolate up the clear tube in the middle of the reservoir is nifty.The only downside is that because the carafe isn’t clear, sometimes I forget to empty it of old coffee before making a new batch.If you like to make a large pot of coffee and then drink it over several hours, then this isn’t the maker for you. The insulated carafe will keep it warm enough for an hour or so, but that’s it. A maker with a heated plate would keep it hot for longer. But who wants 3-hour old coffee?

Review: This coffee maker makes really good coffee. I have been using the OXO for about three months, now, and the coffee it makes is consistently good.Of course, being certified by the Specialty Coffee Association, you would already expect that the OXO 8 cup Coffee Maker make good coffee.For me, this was a big step up from my previously, second-hand coffee makers. I already had a Burr grinder, so the coffee maker was all I needed to get to a great coffee experience. I use a scale to measure the amount of coffee I put in the basket, as well as the water quantity, and the result is really, really good. Compared to these previous machines, the coffee is sweeter and richer, and I found it was easier for me to distinguish between coffee from different origins, as the specificities of each are just highlighted by the OXO.It’s also a beautiful machine, the visual balance is well thought, the black finish is quite nice, and I really like to see the water being pumped in the middle of the water compartment.I found it brews my coffee quick enough. I like the dial as a means of control, more than the traditional buttons. The LEDs just add a touch of modernity that is very welcomed.The steel carafe keeps the coffee hot enough for my taste, and is relatively easy to clean, but will always keep a certain amount of coffee from pouring at the very end of the pot. You have to turn it upside down entirely for these last drops to fall out, which is not a big deal, but is still a bit annoying. I really like that the lid remains on during brewing, as I do not have to think about screwing it on as soon as it is finished.The main issue I have with the OXO is that its drip valve doesn’t work at all… This could be a deal breaker for some, but I just learned to live with it. It started on the second or third day of usage, and has been consistent ever since. It is apparent that the metal spring just isn’t strong enough to close the valve when the carafe is removed. Since I never remove my carafe until the brew is complete, it’s not a major problem for me, but it still makes a mess every time I am done brewing, as a few drops that wouldn’t go into the carafe just spills over the base of the machine.As I said, you can live with it if you don’t remove your carafe mid-brewing, but for a machine this price, such an obvious issue is pretty disappointing, especially since many other people seem to have that same issue.But I still recommend the OXO 8 Cup Coffee Maker: it really does make good coffee, and it is just a beautiful object to have on your counter.
